Quotes 

• Purdey : I want you to accompany me.

  Mike Gambit : On the piano?

• Mike Gambit : [Gabit has just rolled off his sleeping couch]  I suppose you think that's funny?

  Purdey : No, I don't really go in for slapstick and bananaskins. Coward now, or Moliere...

• Purdey : [speaking about Cybermen]  Did I leave anything out?

  Mike Gambit : Only that you love me very much.

  Purdey : Besides that.

  Mike Gambit : No. That's the full story.

  Purdey : I didn't mention Mrs. Emma Peel.

  Mike Gambit : You never do.

• Purdey : Gambit, the last tip I gave you paid off.

  Mike Gambit : Yes it did. But you gave it to me two hours after the race.

  Purdey : Well, nobody's perfect.

• Purdey : [Purdy finds Gambit kneeling outside her door]  Why are you lurking out there?

  Mike Gambit : Lurking?

  [stands up] 

  Mike Gambit : I'm not.

  Purdey : Well, you're not now, but you were, you're whole attitude is one of pure and positive lurk.

• John Steed : [Steed has just regained consciousness]  What happened?

  Purdey : I am very disappointed. 'What happened', that's a terribly coy thing to say, Steed. You could have said 'Where is the party?'. That at least would have been different and fairly amusing. Or you could have muttered something unintelligible in Latin.

  Mike Gambit : On the other hand, he might want to know what happened. You were hit. And I'll give you even money you know by whom or what.

  John Steed : No bet.

• Purdey : Steed's worried.

  Mike Gambit : Furrows under the bowler.

  Purdey : And Steed never worries.

  Mike Gambit : It's a feature of the man.

  Purdey : He never never worries, not unless he's worried.

  Mike Gambit : Which means it's serious.

  Purdey : Very, very serious. And that is very very serious, if you get my meaning.
